How
do you define your local cultural is different from foreign culture? Do you think
local and foreign cultures need to be integrated? Please provide your reasons.
Ø Local culture is
the original culture of a particular community group which is also a cultural
characteristic of a local community group. Meanwhile, foreign culture is a
culture that comes from outside which is followed by the community. For
example, from the way of dress, local culture is more polite and foreign
culture is very disrespectful.
Ø Local culture
and foreign culture do not need to be integrated because foreign cultures do
not always have a positive impact and our own culture will begin to be
neglected. Culture is very important, because a great nation is a cultured
nation.
